Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Manchester by CVP on 12 October 2020 before Employment Judge Ross sitting alone. The claimant, Mr S Samuel, did not attend. The respondent, Service Solutions Direct Limited, was represented by Mr R Mulholland, Finance Director.
The Tribunal dismissed the claimant's breach of contract claim for notice pay and his unlawful deduction from wages claim because the claimant was not in attendance. It also dismissed the unfair dismissal claim on jurisdictional grounds, finding that the claimant had less than two years' service with the respondent when he was dismissed.
The judgment records that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in time. No remedy was awarded.

Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
